WARNING
Run the forklift slowly and carefully when operating it on a
slippery floor.
When operating the forklift on a floor that is slippery due to dew, etc.,
reduce the operating speed to a safe speed. If the forklift slips on the floor,
it may collide with a person, resulting in serious injury.
CAUTION
Use the forklift on a flat floor.
If the forklift is used on an uneven floor, it becomes unstable, and may
overturn. If the forklift overturns, it may break surrounding objects or
collide with a person, resulting in injury.
CAUTION
Run the forklift with the handle placed forward.
If you run the forklift with the fork placed forward, the handle may become
unstable, resulting in a collision accident. Run the forklift with the handle placed
forward, except for a case where you insert the fork into a pallet or push a pallet
by inserting the fork.
CAUTION
During transfer, tilt the mast backward.
Tilt the mast backward so as to stabilize the cargo during transfer. If the mast is
not tilted backward, the cargo becomes unstable and may fall, resulting in a
collision accident.
WARNING
At startup, pay attention to surrounding people.
When you start running the forklift, pay attention to surrounding people and
vehicles. If you start running the forklift without attention to surroundings, it may
result in collision with surrounding people and vehicles.
WARNING
Issue a start sign as required.
If surrounding people does not notice the forklift, or when the forklift is difficult to
see, issue a start sign with the horn, etc. before start. If you start running the
forklift without a start sign, the forklift may collide with a person.
